I have been out of the news spin for a while but I pick up little snippets on my wireless set as I post GIFs on Facebook and I cannot help but shudder as I hear the voices of fellow Brits speaking from places like Sharm el-Sheikh. What the F are these working class heroes doing dodging bullets on Mediterranean shores? Have they learnt nothing from Tunisia? "Ah but we had all this with the IRA" said my neighbour and I replied "The IRA didn't behead people and post on YouTube". The British Working Class have got to have their two weeks of sun or they feel deprived of their constitutional bill of rights. It's as if Thomson Holidays wrote the Magna Carta. The Russian Bear has stirred up the Hornet's Nest now and innocent Russian Civilians have been blown out of the air. Weren't innocent Dutch civilians blown out of the air last year by a stray surface to air missile in the Ukraine. Is this Aviation Karma? And it wasn't the voices of the Home Counties being interviewed by the BBC, it was the accents of the South Wales Valleys and Lancashire. The Surrey set don't tend to head to
Sharm el-Sheikh renamed Shark el-Sheikh because they can afford to go somewhere safer. It's when ISIL decide to hit the skiing resorts will we see Brits finally winning something in the downhill slalom. The idea is to keep us all penned in on our creaking island, looking at each other distrustingly over our Lattes. So where is now safe? Skegness, Cleethorpes, Pwllheli? Come on Brits, lets show some of that stay at home spirit. A week in the Holy land over Christmas beckons. It'll be cheaper.
